Whatever Reznor is doing with his vocals here, I'm not really feeling it. Aside from the uninspired lyrics, (a trend of his modern work, unfortunately) the way he sings them is so... un-him. The instrumentals are, as always, exceptionally layered and a joy to listen to. I almost wish that the instrumental versions of the last 2 records would become available for purchase. I liked Add Violence more than most people (though not as much as Not The Actual Events), but it seems like this trio of EPs have been less than I'd hoped for. There's this trend going around that appeals to the retro-vibe of the 80's, and don't get me wrong, I like that sometimes, but that saxophone and the heavy synth-sound feel a bit ham-fisted here (Add Violence had this issue as well, albeit sans saxophone.) I still have high expectations for the full release though, and as long as it's NTAE-tier, I'll be happy.

the fucking tracklist though

1. Shit Mirror
2. Ahead of Ourselves
3. Play the Goddamned Part
4. God Break Down the Door
5. I’m Not From This World
6. Over and Out

these are the worst song titles i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope it's good

whoops

tickets to his new tour are only being sold physically in locations too far for me to reach

if this ends up being his last tour (odds are it won't be, but it's possible), i will be absolutely inconsolable

what in the fuck, i thought NIN was a metal band of sorts
